Sorry been away for a while......

Well to start things off....my computer was inoperable for the entire weekend so needless to say I went through major computer withdrawal! Last week was a VERY busy week! Here is just some of what happened!

Lauren (my 4 year old) won Gold in individual bowling provincials! I was so proud of her. She had a +79 over her average. I was so impressed. I kind of figured she would get it. She had a 109 in her first game and again around 100 mark in her second game. She is one awesome bowler for being 4 years old. My son was a trooper. He is used to being the bowling champ. This year he has taken a step back to Lauren. He was so cute. He said "Mom I am proud of her!". Made my heart melt. Photo to come soon.

My friend Sheryl has had my digi camera all week so I haven't had a chance to take photos. She is fixing it so I should have it soon. I will be able to take a pic of the L2S April Kit as well created by Tammy Brownlee.

Stacy Julian is going to be chatting at Love 2 Scrap April 26th at 8 p.m. (this is not a real-time chat). Post your questions on our Forum and Stacy will answer them. Thanks Janna Henke for lining this up for us! Check out Stacy's The Big Picture Book availble at Love 2 Scrap before you chat with Stacy. It is an amazing book! Definately one of the best I have seen!


I have been told that my taste in men is lacking (hmm...Elizabeth), so I have decided to post some more eyecandy (in my eye's anyways).

Less than 2 months until CKU. I guess I had better get my butt in gear and figure out what I need to take and get my stuff ready for classes. One of the ladies going here from one of the LSS, told me she is taking a Making Memories Runway Tote in stylish pink to carry all her stuff. I am thinking of doing the same possibly and wearing my cool pink Crocs (oh so omfortable!) as well. I was stopped about 6 times today and asked about them! Can't wait until we go. Will have to check with Janna-banana and see what she is taking!

Who Am I?

I saw on Tammy's Blog today her Muppet Test o I thought I would try this one too. She is Animal. I am Fozzy Bear.

You Are Fozzie Bear

"Wocka! Wocka!" You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up. If only your routine didn't always bomb! You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming.

The Muppet Personality Test

You should try it out too!

SNOW...is it ever going to stop?

We are currently getting anywhere between 15-25 cm's of snow right now and it is not letting up. I am SO sick of looking at snow that I am ready to go on a long, hot, sandy vacation somewhere in the Carribean. Give me a few Pina Colads and some sun and heat and I am good to go!

We had our crop today and as I exprected 1/2 of the people registered didn't come which is totally understandable with the road and weather conditions. Thanks to everyone who did venture out. We had a great time with you! Our next crop is My 27th at the Burnewood Hall and April 1st at the Sherwood Park Pentecostal Church. Hope to see you at both events!

Stay warm everyone....I don't plan on going out unless I absolutely have to!

More Joaquin for today....okay I need my fill....

Love these guys...

I don't know what music you all are into but I am really into Keane, Travis, Delerium and some great British bands. Video removed...sorry. Check out Keane at http://keane.com

So much to do....

Do you have those days that you just think what the heck?? I have so much to do, why did I schedule that? I have a busy next few months.

This week alone...Tomorrow ~ I have a pizza lunch I organized (at our old school), kids both have St. Patty's parties at school, have to take kids to Londonderry to Grandparents for weekend so I can work, going to a movie (Matthew McConaghey sp?) with Nikki & Sheryl. Saturday ~ working all day at our crop. If you live in the Edmonton area, you had better come or I am hunting you down with my little pitch fork mwhaa, haa, haa.... email me for details if you don't already know them renee@love2scrap.ca
Sunday ~ get kids from Londonderry, do homework with them, have to do shipments and L2S stuff as well as clean my house (oh I forgot that is one of my duties!). I still haven't put my laundry away I washed on Monday. There is a job for tonight.

I am pooped!!! Our retreat in April can't come soon enough!

Calgon take me away....

Look what I got today.....

my friend Lisa emailed me photos from our school dance from our kids' school. Lisa and I organized the dance. I was the "Corpse Bride". I loved my costume. looking back now though I should have put white paint on my arms.

We went to McDonald's for dinner before the dance. It was not Halloween when we had the dance so we had many weird looks. Lisa was a hippie. Her kids are the pirate and th Grim Reaper. My kids were the ninja and the witch.

Halloween is my favorite time of year....well besides Christmas of course!

Hair...what should I do?

Well I keep pondering....go light, stay dark....keep growing, cut off?

I need help. I love short hair but just get bored once I have it. I personally prefer lighter hair on me but get mixed reviews so lets let you be the judge. Here are some photos of me. What should I do? These photos are all within the last year.
What do you think? My hair grows pretty fast but I am not sure what looks better. Please help....

Oscar Party...pics...

Well we had a blast last week and as i am waiting for Sheryl to email me the photos of us at the party, here are the starlets we went as. So you anticipation gets the best of you....I think we look rather good as you will get a laugh when our photos are posted. Here are the starlets....

I was on Donna's web site the other day and saw her Poppet she had designed by artist Claudine Helmuth. Well I have mine being done as well. Here is Donna's. I asked for something scrapbook related as well. If you want her information please email me at renee@love2scrap.ca

I have been looking over my information for CKU and getting very excited to take some of the classes there. One I think will be really good will be Elsie Flanigan's. I have a couple back to back with her. She is so cool!


Got our tickets a couple days ago for The Shrine Circus. We are going on Saturday. I haven't been to the circus since I was young.

Lauren was told last weekend she is in bowling provincials on Sunday. My little 4 year old is kicking the older kids' butts. It is very strange seeing how good she is at only 4. My 7 year old son has his nose out of joint that she is in provincials and he isn't.

We are going out for dinner tonight for Jon's birthday. We are going to the Keg for dinner. My Mom, her boyfriend, my sister, niece, our 2 kids, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law and the 2 of us. Should be tight but I know Jon loves the Keg! Happy Birthday dear!

On the flipside...here is my daily dose of my boyfriend....

my daughter is too funny.....

Lauren cracks me up daily. She can be real pain in the cha-cha most of the time but then she redeems herself with this little bit of cutie-ness! Tonight we went out for dinner because "mommy didn't feel like cooking"...what else is new? We got home and she went and put on her jammies, her flip flops and her sleeping shades (?). The read on them "only a prince can kiss these lips". Okay I know totally inapporpriate for a 4 y.o. but she loves it! She is a Claire's junkie. She always asks for Claire's Gift Certificates. She is a 10 for $10 girl. This is one of her items! Gotta love her. She is so frickin funny!


So nice to know that not much is happening this week. Finally a breather! Dentist tomorrow (yikes!), Jon's birthday Thursday, swimming lessons Thursday and Laur is in bowling provincials on the weekend.

So nice to have breathing room!

Cool Scrapbook Shirts....

Have you seen Tenika Morrison's Scrapbook shirts line? They are so cool! Here is the link http://tenika.com Her shirts are very trendy and hip and from what I can see a good price as well.


OSCAR PARTY... my friend Sheryl is throwing an Oscar party on Sunday for Sheryl, my friend Nikki and myself. Okay do you know what us mid-30's gals are doing for fun??? We are wearing our Pj's over to Sheryls, doing boufant hair (or 40's-50's movie stars hair), wearing bold make-up and costume jewelry, eating finger food and drinking wine and to top it off, we are voting ahead of time on a shet of paper (we have all the nominees) who we think will win. We are puting money in a pot and the person who has the most correct wins the pot. Okay, I know we are nuts! But it sounds like fun doesn't it? This will definately be a scrapbook moment for sure! Here is us before hand....(this picture is 1 year and a half old). From left to right....Sheryl, me & Nikki.

Heidi Swapp.....where do i start?

This woman has a very cool sense of style! She knows exactly what to create and I love it all! We worked with rub-ons, masks, florals and tons more. She has a new patterned paper line coming out as well. She is very cool nd I loved meeting her and chatting with her. She was very down to earth!

I know it looks like I ate her for breakfast! She was much smaller than me and after seeing the photo and that my "ta-ta's" were knocking her out, I need to get back to the gym! I think I need to go blonde again. Not a ton but more than I am now.
What do you think? You be the judge!

Planing and more planning....

Well we are in the works for planning a few of our events and also other events in and around the city. We will be at:

Scrapbook for Scouts (March)
Fundraiser Crop For Breast Cancer (April)
Love 2 Scrap Spring Retreat (April)
Scrapfest (September)
Love 2 Scrap Fall Retreat (October)

Lots of planning.....doing workshops and meeting new people. What kinds of workshops would you want to see? What kinds of make n' takes?


We are starting to register for our fall retreat May 1st so check out our web site at http://love2scrap.ca fo more info. They are always a lot of fun!



Just rented some movies.....Walk the Line with my guy (LOL), Joaquin! and In Her Shoes with Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette. I have seen both shows in the theatre but loved them both! I recommend them both if you haven't seen them.

Scrapbook.....Have a few new ideas!

After chatting with Stacy Julian I have come up with some different ideas of what I want to scrapbook. I have never been all about just scrapbooking my kids. I jump all over the place and NEVER scrapbook chronologically. I do whatever is in my heart or what I feel like at the time. Well, I have got two mini albums on the go of which I will post when I am done them. One is The People I Love and the other is The Places I Love. I was totally inspired to do these. So that is my new challenge to myself. It shouldn't be too hard. I also want to create one that is All About Me. I know that may sound a bit self-centered but really those are for me anyways.


I am going to Janna's tonight to scrapbook and chat about DT stuff. Should be fun. I have never scrapbooked at crazy Janna's house before. Janna is the one on the right and Rhonda Birkoben is the one on the right. They are both such a hoot!

I forgot to mention that I ordered 2 pairs of Crocs from http://crocs.com and was told they were shipped via FedEx today so I can't wait to get them. I ordered the Breast Cancer Pink ones and pir of Lime Green ones (different style). I am set for my trip in May now!

I love this photo of Joaquin.....

Okay did I say I just LOVE HIM?????

I can't believe it....

I met Heidi Swapp, Stacy Julian , Wendy Johnson (creator of The Joy of Card Making magazine from Paper Crafts) and some other cool people.

Heidi Swapp was so cool and cute! We did a cool file folder creation with her. I will post as soon as I am finished. It was a lot of fun! She gave us fuzzy rub-ons to use, chipboard, masks and so much more. She was telling us how she came up with the Lipshine lipgloss. She said everyone needs lipgloss when they have their picture taken. I won an iron in her door prize. Man was I psyched!

Stacy Julian...you don't know Stacy from photos until you meet her. She was one of the most down to earth, friendly people I have ever met. Talking to her, you forget she is a scrapbook celebrity and feel like you have known her for years. She has some great insight into scrapbooking and I highly recommend her "Big Picture" philosophy and book. She has amazing ideas! You should check it out.

I came home with so much loot! I had a blast! I created a lot of cool projects and had a lot of fun meeting some new and exciting people! Janna (L2S Design Team & friend) came with me. We had a blast! Janna even got our friend Elizabeth's book signed by Stacy Julian! It was cute. Stacy enjoyed haring about Elizabeth and checking out all her flags in the book.

I can't wait until the summer to go again!

Happy Birthday Mom!

It is my Mom's birthday today so have a great birthday Mom!

Okay I am just getting ticked. I have tried numerous times to add photos here, have change the links and they how in the html and show my profile including picture and it won't work. I have tried the help section and none of the areas they say to look for are here. PLEASE HELP before I go insane!!

Man, I am tired.....

Well I should be getting to bed.....It is 11 p.m. and I have a busy day with bowling with the kids in the a.m. and then a crop from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.

We are organizing "Scrappin For Scouts" in Edmonton right now as well. So anyone interested in that please check out our web site at http://freewebs.com/175scrappinforscouts/index.htm It is going to be a great weekend crop fundraiser with lots of make'n'take, workshops, prizes, goodie bags and more! If you live in the area you should come. Our Creative Design Member at L2S Janna Henke will be doing some workshops at the crop. You should come for those alone! She is a very talented lady! Details are on the web site.

Nikki (my bus. partner) and I have decided to do "Scrapfest" this year. So, we are going to have a booth there with our Creative Design Leader Corry Heinricks there. Can't wait to meet her in person. She will be doing make'n'takes at our booth and hopefully she can take some classes herself. Corry is pretty crafty and I am sure she will be doing some cool things at the show!

Our L2S Burnewood Crops are going to be March 18th, June17th, July 15th and August 19th. Futher dates will be posted closer to the dates.
